0:00:59 > 0:01:01'Hey, DW!'

0:01:02 > 0:01:04- Hey!- Whoaaaa!

0:01:10 > 0:01:12Another day without being bought.

0:01:12 > 0:01:15I must say, I am relieved!

0:01:15 > 0:01:16How can you say that?

0:01:16 > 0:01:19I long for the adventure of a new world!

0:01:19 > 0:01:23What if those who purchase me are uncouth?

0:01:23 > 0:01:26I shudder at the thought and would rather stay here!

0:01:26 > 0:01:29I just want whatever girl who buys me

0:01:29 > 0:01:34to really care about my beautiful culture and heritage.

0:01:34 > 0:01:38It is my culture and heritage that has BECOME beauty!

0:01:38 > 0:01:40Everybody knows that.

0:01:40 > 0:01:44There could be more than one culture with beauty.

0:01:44 > 0:01:46But none as ancient as mine.

0:01:46 > 0:01:49No culture compares to ze French!

0:01:49 > 0:01:51Not this argument again!

0:01:51 > 0:01:54Besides, we can't control who buys us.

0:01:54 > 0:01:58Either they will or won't care about our cultures and histories.

0:01:58 > 0:02:01- That adds to the adventure.- But...

0:02:04 > 0:02:07EXCITED SCREAMS

0:02:14 > 0:02:17I'm so glad you're into World Girl dolls too.

0:02:17 > 0:02:20Francine doesn't care about them.

0:02:20 > 0:02:22I didn't say "dolls", I said "doll".

0:02:22 > 0:02:26I only have one World Girl - Pema from Tibet.

0:02:26 > 0:02:30You'll die when you see what I've done with my closet.

0:02:30 > 0:02:34- I made it into a true World Girl world. Ta-da!- Ohhhh!

0:02:34 > 0:02:37Ying Li is from China, pyramids are Egyptian.

0:02:37 > 0:02:40You've arranged this all wrong.

0:02:40 > 0:02:44World Girl isn't about right and wrong. It's about collecting

0:02:44 > 0:02:46and what a collection it is!

0:02:46 > 0:02:49This hula skirt isn't Greta's

0:02:49 > 0:02:51and why's Cleopatra in a convertible?

0:02:51 > 0:02:54Don't you read the World Girl books?

0:02:54 > 0:02:57I have hundreds in humidity-controlled cases.

0:02:57 > 0:02:59But do you READ them?

0:02:59 > 0:03:03If you did, you might have respect for historical accuracy.

0:03:03 > 0:03:07Are you just jealous because I have so many World Girl dolls

0:03:07 > 0:03:09and you only have Puma?

0:03:09 > 0:03:11Pema!

0:03:11 > 0:03:15How can I be jealous when you don't even know the point of World Girl?

0:03:15 > 0:03:18Collecting. That is the point.

0:03:18 > 0:03:22The point is connecting - connecting to cultures!

0:03:22 > 0:03:24- Where's the fun in that? - KNOCK AT DOOR

0:03:24 > 0:03:26Francine? Miss Muffy.

0:03:28 > 0:03:30- 'Hello?'- Are you watching TV?

0:03:30 > 0:03:33Your World Girl thing is out of control.

0:03:33 > 0:03:36There's a commercial for World Girl World...

0:03:36 > 0:03:40World Girl World! Quick, Sue-Ellen, turn on the TV!

0:03:40 > 0:03:45'It's ridiculous! A whole world devoted to dumb dolls?!'

0:03:45 > 0:03:48With the World Girl World opening near you,

0:03:48 > 0:03:51you won't need to shop by catalogue for dolls.

0:03:51 > 0:03:55Imagine a place just for you and your World Girl,

0:03:55 > 0:03:59where you can bring all her worldly splendours back to your own home.

0:03:59 > 0:04:03Come to the grand opening in Elwood City!

0:04:03 > 0:04:05That was amazing!

0:04:05 > 0:04:08You're kidding, right?

0:04:08 > 0:04:10We're going to opening day,

0:04:10 > 0:04:13all of us. World Girl World this weekend!

0:04:13 > 0:04:15I can't wait to visit Little Tibet.

0:04:15 > 0:04:20I can get Pema's yak-weaving loom. I've saved up 15.

0:04:20 > 0:04:2215?! Sue-Ellen,

0:04:22 > 0:04:2715 won't even pay for a miniature yak hairbrush.

0:04:27 > 0:04:30See what I mean? It's all a giant rip-off.

0:04:30 > 0:04:33No way am I going. Bye!

0:04:34 > 0:04:37For the last time, you can count me out.

0:04:37 > 0:04:38I don't play with dolls.

0:04:38 > 0:04:41World Girl isn't about playing...

0:04:41 > 0:04:43I know, it's about collecting.

0:04:43 > 0:04:47I'd rather spend my time and money on real things.

0:04:47 > 0:04:51I'll buy you a World Girl if you come.

0:04:51 > 0:04:54- No, thanks. - And after the grand opening,

0:04:54 > 0:04:57we'll have a sleepover - you, me and Sue-Ellen -

0:04:57 > 0:04:59and we'll do whatever you want.

0:04:59 > 0:05:01A sleepover? OK, I'll go.

0:05:01 > 0:05:06But only to prove it's a scam to sell useless stuff.

0:05:06 > 0:05:07Yippee!

0:05:07 > 0:05:09I'll go and tell Sue-Ellen.

0:05:09 > 0:05:13There's no way I'm buying a doll. Never!

0:05:17 > 0:05:20We had to take a second mortgage to come here.

0:05:20 > 0:05:23It's worth it to see the girls so happy.

0:05:23 > 0:05:27This place has duped even the parents!

0:05:27 > 0:05:30Hurry, hurry! Lines are forming!

0:05:30 > 0:05:32My goal is to complete my collection

0:05:32 > 0:05:36of every doll and every accessory by the end of the day.

0:05:37 > 0:05:40I'm gonna buy Little Tibet, you guys.

0:05:40 > 0:05:44I got an advance on my allowance so I can buy the yak-weaving loon.

0:05:44 > 0:05:48An advance on your allowance? Oh, brother!

0:05:48 > 0:05:52Meet for lunch, OK? 12.30.

0:06:00 > 0:06:03Excuse me, ma'am, do you have a ticket?

0:06:03 > 0:06:06Yep, we're 124.

0:06:06 > 0:06:08Only 35 people ahead of us.

0:06:10 > 0:06:12Ohhh!

0:06:15 > 0:06:16OK, look at this.

0:06:16 > 0:06:21A stick with two small water buckets - 49.99! Who would pay that?

0:06:21 > 0:06:24I don't have this yet. Here, Bailey.

0:06:24 > 0:06:26- TANNOY: - Greetings, shoppers.

0:06:26 > 0:06:29Little Antarctica is now open.

0:06:29 > 0:06:33Come meet our new World Girl and her team of sled dogs.

0:06:33 > 0:06:37So you can spend more money on things you didn't know you wanted!

0:06:37 > 0:06:39We have to split up.

0:06:39 > 0:06:42Take the cart to the register while I go to Antarctica.

0:06:42 > 0:06:47There's going to be a run on the new dolls, I just know it!

0:06:47 > 0:06:50When you buy up the Antarctic collection,

0:06:50 > 0:06:52they'll open a new continent....

0:06:52 > 0:06:54Francine, you're slowing me down.

0:06:54 > 0:06:58Why not take this and go to the Sports Hall of Fame?

0:06:58 > 0:07:00- You'll like it there.- Fine.

0:07:00 > 0:07:02I'd like to see what a sham it is,

0:07:02 > 0:07:06but don't expect me to spend a cent of this.

0:07:18 > 0:07:20Babe Didrikson Zaharias!

0:07:20 > 0:07:25'..called by many the greatest female athlete of all time,

0:07:25 > 0:07:30excelled at basketball, baseball, track and field and golf.'

0:07:30 > 0:07:34She's the most flexible of the Sports World Girl series

0:07:34 > 0:07:37and comes with her own background dossier.

0:07:37 > 0:07:40- Dossier?!- All World Girl dolls have their own book

0:07:40 > 0:07:43but this one also has a history of golf

0:07:43 > 0:07:46and the introduction of women into the game,

0:07:46 > 0:07:48- which was due to Babe.- It was?!

0:07:48 > 0:07:52Sure! She was the first to play in the PGA.

0:07:52 > 0:07:55We're a little behind schedule...

0:07:55 > 0:07:58'For those of you who own Fifi, the French World Girl,

0:07:58 > 0:08:02'a new hair salon has just opened on the Rive Gauche.'

0:08:02 > 0:08:04We have to go to France right now!

0:08:04 > 0:08:06HE SIGHS

0:08:07 > 0:08:09Discontinued?!

0:08:09 > 0:08:12But Pema was my favourite doll.

0:08:12 > 0:08:14They got rid of the whole country.

0:08:14 > 0:08:17Now there's no Tibet in World Girl World.

0:08:17 > 0:08:21I could get you a Turkish rug loom. It's almost the same.

0:08:21 > 0:08:22No, thanks.

0:08:26 > 0:08:29Francine! Help!

0:08:29 > 0:08:31Thanks!

0:08:33 > 0:08:36- What are you wearing? - Uh...I'm not sure.

0:08:36 > 0:08:39One minute, I was in ancient Greece

0:08:39 > 0:08:41and then I wound up in Siberia.

0:08:41 > 0:08:44Why aren't there any benches in this place?

0:08:44 > 0:08:47I don't have this one!

0:08:47 > 0:08:49That's Babe Didrikson Zaharias,

0:08:49 > 0:08:52one of the first female pro golfers.

0:08:52 > 0:08:55- You bought her?- I had to get the book she came with

0:08:55 > 0:08:58and, well, she looked so cute.

0:08:58 > 0:09:02I'm so happy for you! Ohhh...

0:09:02 > 0:09:06- You look terrible. - I just need to get my third wind.

0:09:06 > 0:09:09Bailey, how many more countries do we have left?

0:09:09 > 0:09:11Ten, Miss Muffy.

0:09:11 > 0:09:15Ohhh! I'll have to skip lunch.

0:09:15 > 0:09:17Did you find your loom?

0:09:17 > 0:09:19Pema was discontinued.

0:09:19 > 0:09:22They've done away with Little Tibet altogether.

0:09:22 > 0:09:27- I'll never get that loom now.- There must be at least one in this place.

0:09:27 > 0:09:33I passed a doll hospital. They might have some leftover accessories.

0:09:33 > 0:09:34That's a great idea!

0:09:34 > 0:09:37But what about the ten countries left?

0:09:37 > 0:09:40I'll do as many as I can, Miss Muffy,

0:09:40 > 0:09:44- and meet you in, say, one hour?- OK!

0:09:44 > 0:09:46Aaaaaah!

0:09:49 > 0:09:52'..paging Dr Baldwin in Trauma Room One...'

0:09:52 > 0:09:55This place is kind of creepy.

0:09:59 > 0:10:02There's a doctor. Let's see if he has any looms.

0:10:04 > 0:10:06What...is this place?

0:10:06 > 0:10:10It doesn't look like any country on the information map.

0:10:10 > 0:10:13SHE GASPS Look!

0:10:13 > 0:10:16There must be THOUSANDS of dolls

0:10:16 > 0:10:19and they're all different.

0:10:19 > 0:10:23Ludmila the Estonian girl?

0:10:23 > 0:10:27Where's Estonia? I never even heard of it.

0:10:27 > 0:10:29Guys, look at this.

0:10:39 > 0:10:42They make them so quickly!

0:10:42 > 0:10:44One right after another.

0:10:44 > 0:10:48How will I keep up? I'll need more closet space.

0:10:48 > 0:10:51Closet space? You'll need a new HOUSE!

0:10:51 > 0:10:54Too much! It's just too much.

0:10:54 > 0:10:56I can't take it any more.

0:10:56 > 0:11:00Come on, let's get out of here. It's not that important.

0:11:04 > 0:11:08You're really gonna give away half your collection to charity?

0:11:08 > 0:11:12Yep. I'm only keeping the ones I really, really like.

0:11:12 > 0:11:15I don't remember buying this one.

0:11:15 > 0:11:18That's Pema! And she's holding the yak-weaving loom!

0:11:18 > 0:11:23- It's yours. - Wait, this loom is green.

0:11:23 > 0:11:25Hers is supposed to be brown.

0:11:25 > 0:11:27Are you sure this belongs with Pema?

0:11:27 > 0:11:32That's exactly how she was when she came out of the box.

0:11:32 > 0:11:36See what colour it is in the book that came with her.

0:11:40 > 0:11:43Yeah, look, it's brown here.

0:11:43 > 0:11:46All this time I've been searching for an accessory

0:11:46 > 0:11:50- that wasn't even accurate! - So let's make it accurate.

0:11:55 > 0:11:58Ta-da! One perfect Tibetan loom

0:11:58 > 0:12:00and it didn't cost me a cent.

0:12:00 > 0:12:04- Check out Babe's putting green. - That's amazing!

0:12:04 > 0:12:09I've been thinking - we could charge a fortune for these accessories.

0:12:09 > 0:12:12We could even make the dolls ourselves.

0:12:12 > 0:12:15We could call them Universe Girls!

0:12:15 > 0:12:20There's only one thing to do when Muffy gets an idea like that...

0:12:20 > 0:12:22Pillow fight! Take that!

0:12:22 > 0:12:25LAUGHTER
